Switzerland 5 (until November 2008 U1 TV ) is a Swiss private television broadcaster that started operations on March 1, 2004 under the name U1 TV . It is broadcast in Swiss German dialects and Swiss Standard German . The niche channel has a market share of less than one percent.
The program
Since the license was returned, Switzerland 5 no longer offers daily news. The initially planned “sports television” has now been moved to the Star TV channel . The only sporting event in Switzerland 5 was limited to kickboxing. In the past, the station was able to come up with documentary soaps such as “Gstaad in Winter - Between Tradition and Top Tourism”, “Pfuusbus” or “The Recruit School”, in which the station accompanied Swiss recruits for a year as U1.
In the morning between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m. Switzerland broadcasts 5 music videos (modern, classic and folk). Between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., the program was taken over by 9Live until 2011 .
Ownership
The Switzerland 5 AG, which operates the program of the same name, is 80% owned Peter Heeb, the remainder to channel 1. The channel 1 TV AG held earlier holdings in the television channels TV München (July 1, 2005 set) and Tom ( sold after bankruptcy).
On December 1, 2008, U1 TV was renamed Switzerland 5 and continues to broadcast on the previous cable seats and frequencies of U1 TV. U1 TV Station AG then remained a pure television and Internet content producer, not only working for Switzerland 5, but also for other television broadcasters in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

reception
The transmitter is used in the cable networks of the operators Cablecom , Swisscom , Sunrise Communications etc. a. distributed, as well as as a live stream on the Internet.
Special
U1 TV was the first national television station in Switzerland to broadcast its entire program over the Internet. This was possible because the broadcaster mainly produced its own productions.
Dispute with Cablecom
In February 2007, the largest cable network operator in Switzerland, Cablecom, announced the transfer of the station from the analog to the digital cable network on August 30, 2007. Since most of the audience ratings, even if the ratings in prime time are in the alcohol range (between 0.1 and 0.2% market share), could be achieved in the analogue network, the station applied for inclusion in the so-called “must-carry” network. List »(this list includes stations that have been given special broadcasting rights by the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) for the Swiss public - that is, they have to be broadcast for public service reasons). As a result, OFCOM postponed the move to the digital network with an order. In order to counteract the threatened loss of ratings, an attempt was made, with the help of some parliamentarians, to concentrate the program focus on live sporting events of so-called “fringe sports” with the brand “U1 Schweizer Sportfernsehen”.
On December 19, 2007, OFCOM announced that the content of the program was insufficient for inclusion on this list. In addition, according to OFCOM, U1 TV broadcasts numerous programs that are financed by chargeable value-added service numbers and that in some cases contradict the constitutional performance mandate.
As of January 13, 2008, U1 TV could no longer be received in Cablecom's analogue television network. U1 TV Station AG decided to take the decision to the Federal Administrative Court , but failed there. According to the decision of the Federal Administrative Court of November 20, 2008, the U1 TV program does not fulfill the constitutional mandate of a television broadcaster either quantitatively or qualitatively.
After this decision, the broadcaster went to the federal court , albeit without success. On June 18, 2009, the complaint was rejected on the grounds that a “must-carry” program had to “contribute to the fulfillment of the constitutional mandate in a special way”, which was not the case with U1. The cable network operator Cablecom has rightly deleted the station from its analog network.
